Without an electronic shutter, there is no way to rid a camera of all vibration.
Modern Photography once bolted cameras to a concrete wall to try to eliminate it. At some point,
long before an electronic shutter camera experiences it, a camera with mechanical shutter will blur
the image. The only variable left with an electronic shutter shot is human hands holding a camera.
Also, even on a tripod, any strong wind will induce some vibration which would impact any camera.
